The (New) New Recruit

by TheScribe6754

Can romance stand the test of time, bondage and alternate realities? Who knows! All I know is this is going to be a lot of fun. Elizabeth Hawthorne was, of course, your average college student just trying to get through the day. But everything changed when Magneto and the Brotherhood attacked. Can Liz charm her way out of this one or will she have to fight her way out? (OCxAzazel)

1. INTRO

LONG INTRO TIME!

(Pro Tip: Skip ahead if you want and enjoy the fic!)

Okay, so, for anyone reading this...as I'm sure you already know, it's been a long time since I've written. I mean, a LONG time. And I didn't exactly finish the last fic in my little collection.

And I've gotta say, that's probably for the best. A lot can change in what, like, two friggin years and, reading over my old stuff, I feel like I've definitely changed, and hopefully for the better.

With my "The New Recruit' Series, I started off strong (but still pretty shoddy) and as we got to the second and third 'installments' it just got crazier and my attitude became: Fuck it! Let's go all out in this bitch!

And while I do feel like it allowed me to explore different themes and helped me try to develop new plots and take characters in new directions, it went WAY further off from what I'd originally intended.

I don't know if I will or even CAN finish what I started with the New Recruit (And especially that God awful The New Threat *shivers*), I do want to try again. So, I decided to go a new direction entirely.

I'm wiping the slate clean and I'm starting fresh.

This fic is kind of a what-if situation. As in: What if Elizabeth hadn't just decided to join the very obviously bad guys in the beginning of TNR? What if she'd rebelled and began her journey locked up with the others who refused?

And thus, the first few chapters of this fic were feverishly produced. I don't know if I can keep up with this fic but I DO know that I sure the hell will try. I've got no real clue which direction I want to take it but, with any luck, I'll be able to get out chapters regularly and bring something new—and hopefully better—to the table this time.

Thank you to old fans and welcome to new ones! Newbies can always read my old fic but starting out with this one won't hurt either. After all, it's a whole new story! ...Sort of.

Anyway, as always, I'd like to thank those of you reading and would like to provide my standard DISCLAIMER, which states that I do not own the X-Men nor its affiliates. I own only my Original Characters.

Thank you very much, and I hope you enjoy!
